Driving an Adventure is a little bit like driving a car (how we in Germany say: Dose) because of windshield, protectors, weight an so on ... Rockster is naked !!!
I know... my first bike was Suzuki GS 500E (naked)... now I've got SV 650 S and when I'll be 21 (now 19)I wanna have a Rockster in orange-matte combination:) I like the agressive design and the muscular torque. (Are you german? I come from czech - so we're neighbours :) )
The design I changed a lot (most parts unscrewed), and now it looks more like a bike. The best is actually the torque and the undercarriage. When other drivers brake in the curve and get out of it at highest engine speed, you simply hold on ...
yep... that's what twin-engine bikes are about... torque... If I want to slow down I just use the engine and not the brakes... I look forward to ride the bike (and to have it :D )
I like the Rockster, but the conventional bars are too tame for me. I ride an F800S right now. It's about 85bhp too. It trounces every legal speed limit in America at redline in 3rd gear...and it does it in under 4 seconds. I don't see why anyone would ever need more power for street riding.
Rock Und Roll :o)
